Elbow - Bitten By The Tail-fly

You`re a girl in this vicinity
I`m a dog without a collar on
This cattle-market cabaret
Is the Sabbath every Saturday

I`m full of wit and chivalry
Until you`ve given in to me
I`m a dog without a collar on
You`re a girl in this vicinity

Bitten by the tail-fly
Too many times to change
It`s a silent taxi ride away
But it`s everything to get you there
You`ll know when you are bitten-shy
But still you will return my stare
>From a crush of blushing brides-to-be
You barely have a blossom on
Your eyes betray your diaries
I`m a dog without a collar on
I`ll take you home
Get you on your own
Sweetness, don`t be bashful

Your eyes betray your diaries
